Hall has 1.2 million followers on Instagram, some percentage of whom are huge fans. And in any ‘huge fan contingency’, it’s safe to assume there will be some who are less-hinged than others.

Unfortunately, that meant abuse and death threats for Todrick’s ex. Not cool.

On Friday, Hall posted an apology video, telling fans:

“I posted some things on my Insta story a couple days ago I should not have posted.

I was in a situation where someone I loved had betrayed me and lied to me. And while he was not my boyfriend, we were in a sort of relationship.

There were betrayals and lines that were crossed. I should have handled those situations behind the scenes. And instead, I took to Instagram which was a very immature Regina George-esque approach at life, and…I posted things online not realizing the impact that it would have.”

He added:

“I’m a human being and I pride myself on being an idol to you guys and someone you can look up to as a role model, and this is not the way I would want my child to handle this situation…If I were my own parent I would say ‘You need to get online and you need to apologize in person and own up to what you did because that’s what a real man would do.’ The decisions I made earlier were not ‘real man decisions’, not ‘big boy decisions’, but this is what I think is the only thing I can do to fix it.”

So what’s the takeaway? Keep your personal drama off of social media as much as possible — learn it, live it, tell your friends.

I hear your point. Definitely true. People are responsible for themselves… but Todrick made a terrible mistake.
What were his intentions? Personal vengeance and publicity.
So ultimately, he is to blame for this mess.
He lost my respect. I hope he can regain it by remembering he should be above this all and he’s should act as a role model.

I’m black and gay. Black ppl never compliment my pictures or posts some do but most don’t. …..but I always compliment theirs. It’s horrible and actually it’s another form of racism. Black think IG will save them. Lol. And I’m black and proud and my America is awesome and very great. Don’t know what the people that say make America great again mean. America is and always will be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The greatest country on earth! “Stoopid”

He threw a petty party and it turned into a burning Dumpster. I get it, but Todrick knows he doesn’t to descend into this kind of messiness. Take the high road, and save the dragging for the comedy, where he’s perfected it to a mini art form.
